j Judge Gray's Startling question

Some years ago Judge Gray was called to

him TO DIR IS, as Iowa CIty was but a few
miles away. The Judge had not slept well.

The Cold Handlers, strike.

The strike of the coal handlers in New
York and vicinity has already reached
far greater proportions than it was ex-
pected it would when it was naugurated.
Ii it had been confined strictly TO the coal
handlers it might Eaye continued quite a
while longer without attracting a great
deal of attention. The coal companies
could have managed to carry on their
business in some sort OF way with green
hands, and oBer kinds of business would
not have been seriously interfered with.
The coal handlers saw that they were not
meeting with much success and so they
induced other classes of workers to join
with them. Now they have with them
boatmen, brakemen, lOngshoremen, ele-
vator men, cartmen and knights of Labor.
The number of the strikers is between
10000 and 10000, and is rapidly increas-
ing. Many kinds OF business are feeling
the effects of the strike, and factories and
steamers which require large quantities
OF coal are suffering serious smbarrass-
ment.
or course something will have to be
done to end the trouble. Steamers can
mol afford to wait long beyond the sailing
time for fuel, and factories which have
been shut down are suffering heavy
losses.
Notwithsta nding all that has been said
by workingmen and capitalists respecting
the harm that strikes do wOrkingmen as
well as capitalists no very serious ef
tort has yet been made to find some way
to settle labor differences without a resort
to strikes and boycotIs. The inconve-
niences and losses which are now being
suffered in New y ork may help to impress
upon the public mind that the best inter-
ests of employer and employe require
that labor differences shall be submitted
to arbitration before a strike is inaugu-
rated. Az
All of the strikers are of course poor
men, but they do not appear to have given
the least consideration to the suffering
their action inficts upon thousands of
extremely poor people. Coal is a neces-
sity this cold weather at the North, yet
the strike has SO increased the price of it
to the small consumers that it is out OF
the reach of very large percentage of
them,

In view of the disgraceful scenes en-.

consolation Washington has is that it is

nese Minister'S ball, Wednesday night,
invited guests unhesitatingly carried

history of San Jacinto should be told in
